New website helps people to endure difficult situations through inspirational stories

A new inspirational stories website, 'GotInspiration.org,' is connecting those who have endured some of life's most difficult situations with those who are looking for inspiration. From quitting drinking to managing post traumatic stress disorder, to surviving cancer, GotInspiration.org is helping people find inspiration and strength, one true story at a time.

GotInspiration.org allows individuals to browse through inspirational stories written by someone who has navigated one or more of life's most difficult situations -- and who now feels compelled to inspire others to do the same.

This inspirational stories site allows visitors to truly connect with Inspirers, beyond just reading their stories.

"We connect people who want to inspire others - with those who want to get inspired by others. There is no other website that I am aware of that offers this. Also, the unique 'Find My Inspirer' tab allows people to search for their Inspirer based on gender, location, age group and an area of life where inspiration is needed," said Vijay Mattewada, MD, founder of GotInspiration.org. He is a family physician in Memphis who treats inner city patients and volunteers teaching medical students as assistant professor in Family Medicine at University of TN Health Science Center.

The inspirational stories that are constantly updated are on a variety of topics including quitting drinking, PTSD, divorce, weight loss, spousal abuse, quitting smoking, and more. There are also forums where you can post inspirational tips.

"There is incredible healing power in reading inspirational stories and connecting with others who have overcome the difficult challenges each of us face in life. Our goal is to provide a safe place for people to share their stories and for others to receive them so that they can find the inspiration to change their lives," said Dr. Mattewada.
